Trees Invited; d Suggest Advance Notice Be Given It won't be very long until re- forestation <activities are again in full swing and tree applicants- are. expecting shipments from the nur- series. As many applicants in this area may, be obtaining require- ments from the government ,nur- series at St. Williams and Mid- hurst, we're taking the liberty of quoting a news item from a recent • :bulletin issued at the Lindsay of- fice of the Department of Lands and Forests which describes some of the problems and schedule fol- lowed: 'The Department of Lands and Forests Nurseries are preparing to handle the many 'thousands of. trees which will be supplied for planting on county forests and crown land in this district and also the millions going out to private individuals throughout the area they serve. As soon as the earth is anywhere near in shape for working, trees are requested by private and government planters alike. The problem concentrates at the nurseries where each order for trees must be considered just as urgent as the next, and so all must be treated similarly. Notice is printed on all private order forms of those persons pick- ing trees up at the nurseries, that YOU CAN DEPEND ON kidneys fail to , 1► Whosexc repave excess maids - �, and wastes, back- DODDS' '� dohs, cdorteoften; KIDNEY follow. rest often back - follow.

If this advice is not given, then the shipping department can'• not be expected to accommodate all who request trees each day, Trees are living units which must be handled with care, therefore the speed of packaging cannot be. varied to any extent to oblige a large or small number of appli- cants. Another notice, is printed' on order forms going to those people wishing to pick up trees at, the nursery. This requests the applicant to sign a statement of release on the reverse side of the order form if someone other than the applicant is to pick up the trees. Unless this is done the nurseries have been instructed by the head office of the Department in Toronto to refuse to issue the trees involved. Shipping is held back until suf- ficient trees of all species are lift- ed to maintain a continuous full flow through the shipping depart- ment. This is done so that the greatest number of people are ac- commodated, for as soon as one order is delivered into a given area, all people in that area, who have trees on order will expect to receive, or to be able to pick up their orders immediately. This de- sire cannot be satisfied if the trees are shipped out as soon as they, are lifted." 0 Investments in new residential construction in Canada in 1953 was valued at $1,062,000,000, an in- crease of 35 per cent over 1952. In the same period investment in non-residential construction in- creased by ten percent, while in- vestment in new machinery and equipment showed no increase over 1952.

A show otehands at a panel dis- cussion at the American News- paper Publishers' Association an- nual convention indicated three newspapers out of four had gained circulation during the last six months. Lee Hills, Detroit Free Press, said TV has had at least two ef- fects on reporting and editing. He said: First, many stories must be written now with the knowledge that the public already has witnes- sed the event. Second, with many women watching sports on TV, sports stories must be pointed toward the whole family rather than' only to the men. Closed Panel The ' entire first day's session was given over to closed panel discussions on newspaper prob- lems. These general trends developed in the discussions: General sentiment was against printing names of juveniles ar- rested for crimes, but some pub- lishers reported an increasing dis- position by law enforcement of- ficers to have such names printed as a deterrent to curb an upswing in youthful lawbreaking. On the question of letters to the editors, the general attitude was to edit then only for reasons of space or to eliminate bad taste. Ausable Authority Asks For Pinery Expropriation Western Ontario's great natural park ;area, The Pinery, may soon be the outdoor playground every- one has been waiting for. ' Last Thursday night the Ausable River Conservation Authority de- cided to ask the Ontario govern- ment to expropriate the 4,066 -acre Lake Huron shoreline as a public recreation area. To Be Presented Soon A resolution will be presented to Premier Frost shortly by C. E. Janes, (P.C: Lambton East), ask- ing the government to expropriate The Pinery and then to sell the inia dnsection—the forest—back to the authority at a fixed price of $17,000. This would leave the entire lake - shore area—a stretch about four and one-half miles long covering more than 1,200 acres—under pro- vincial ownership, while the re- maining portion extending inland to the Bluewater Highway would be owned by the authority. Parks Business "The government is definitely going into the parks business," Mr. Janes, who is also chairman of the authority's parks and re- creation committee, said. "I've kept The Pinery before them but Country publishers said they sometimes were under pressure from local merchants to reject ad- vertising from out-of-town merch- ants in a competitive position. Majority, but not unanimous, opin- ion was that such advertising should be accepted. dplit'POWER MOWERS Smooth -handling, nationally known Jacobsen self-propelled power mowers make grass cutting easy.

Residence, Rattenbury Street East; Ta PRYDE and SON CLINTON` EXETER SEAFORTH there has been no indication of who will administer the new parks act." The resolution asks that Plan- ning and Development Minister William K. Warrander be named to acquire and administer the pro- posed park. A.R.C.A. members felt that Mr. Warrander and his staff had shown considerable int- erest in the park and were ac- quainted with the needs and pos- sibilities of the area. Once under provincial control, the recreation half of the area would likely be administered by a parks commission set up by the government. With that establish- ed, the conservation authority would probably turn the forest over to the Department of Lands and Forests which would keep it cleaned out and restocked with pines while the A.R.C.A. retained ownership. Until 1951 The Pinery was in the hands of the Canada Company and for years has been an unpro- ductive wilderness. The dense pine forest, however, must be preserved in order to prevent drifting sand from smothering the good farm- land further inland. The long stretch of unspoiled beach is the primary attraction for the general public and this would be given first consideration in development of the area. Behind the shore sand dune there is plenty of parking lots, picnic tables, re- freshment concessions and bath ]rouses to serve the beach in the lea of onshore winds. It is ex- pected these beach facilities would be put in operation within a year of public acquisition. Authority Chairman John A. Morrison said public. ownership of the park can't come too soon for the good of the people of Western Ontario. He said it wasn't a ques- tion of who takes over The Pinery, so long as it is preserved for the public's use. By purchasing 25 acres directly across from the en- trance to The Pinery, the A.R.C.A. has protected themselves against • commercial development. •o Quebec's famed and scenic Sag- uenay River, at 800 feet, is probab- ly Canada's deepest inland water- way.
